Each has it's specific use and requires a different set-up. I use Sonar for guitar practice as well as writing and recording music. If you don't know what you want there are built in rhythm examples you can place in to experiment with to find the sound you're looking for. I love it! To get them real sounding you will have to spend time on them to get the sound you want. Working with drums in Sonar has been pure pleasure for me. torture Anybody here creating and recording songs using midi drums like superior drummer, BFD, or even Cakewalks built in drums? Is it possible to get them real sounding? I always find the cymbals lacking. Remember you can treat parts of the drum kit differently due to the note values so it's possible to add a little something something to just the cymbals if desired.

To get a good idea of the ranges for both, take Dave's idea and have a live drummer play an electronic kit while recording the MIDI. It's much more difficult to hit every note with the same strength even if you were trying to. Oh yeah, the other thing to vary (and this can vary significantly compared to timing) is the volume of each note. Obviously having them all hit right on time makes it sound like a machine. I've found that having the notes a bit faster than the beat tends to make the song seem more energetic. A good drummer will usually be either a little too fast or slow but not both and will stay in a tight range like 2-5ms off. Even the best drummer will still be a few milliseconds off but, where people tend to fail when they manually change notes, is that they do too much inconsistently. Cakewalk used to sell these extra programs a long time ago that "humanize" MIDI by moving the notes a bit (can't remember the names at the moment - I still have them somewhere).
